Imagine a world 400 years ago where children were used as chimney sweeps．The pay was low, it was a dirty trade and there was little reward for the men who did the job and even less for children.

Medway’s annual Sweeps Festival recreates the joy and laughter enjoyed by the chimney sweeps at their traditional holiday: the one time of the year the sweeps could leave the soot（煙灰） behind and have some fun．The sweeps’ holiday was traditionally held on 1 May each year．Locally, they used to mark the occasion by staging a procession through the streets of Rochester.

Their fun continued with the Jack-in-the-Green ceremony, a seven-foot character that they used to waken at dawn on Blue Bell Hill, Chatham．The Jack-in-the-Green would walk with the chimney sweeps in their parade．When the Climbing Boys’ Act 1868 made it illegal to employ young boys to carry out the trade, the traditional procession gradually began to fade．The final May celebration was held in the early 1900s.

The modern day Rochester Sweeps Festival is a colorful mix of music, dancing and entertainment with more than 60 Morris sides and entertainers celebrating throughout the three-day festival．The festival was revived in 1981 by local businessman Gordon Newton, a keen historian．He decided it was time to bring it back and over the years he has helped develop the festival into what it is today — an excellent performance of traditional Britain.

Gordon researched the Sweeps’ tradition and organized a small parade, involving local Morris teams．In time, Medway Council took over organization of the festival but Gordon remained actively involved．Today he is festival producer and plays melodeon（簧風(fēng)琴） for several Morris teams．Doug Hudson is the festival’s music director, a role he has held for many years．Through Gordon’s vision and hard work, Doug’s musical ability and the council’s help, the Rochester Sweeps Festival has become the largest May Day celebration of its kind in the country.

According to the writer, chimney sweeps ____________.

      A．were highly respected        B．were well rewarded

      C．led a hard life in the past            D．worked in good conditions

Medway’s Sweeps Festival ____________.

      A．has been organized by the Jack-in-the-Green

      B．dated back to the May celebration in the early 1900s

       C．is held to honor those chimney sweeps every other year

      D．has become a time for chimney sweeps to enjoy themselves

The underlined word “revive” in the 4th paragraph most probably means ___________.

      A．realize          B．review         C．recreate         D．recognize

It can be inferred from the passage that ____________.

      A．the festival has never been supported by the local government

      B．The festival is a good way to see British folk customs in action

      C．youngsters has been forbidden to be chimney sweeps since 1981

      D．the modern festival lasts five days celebrating the coming of spring

What is the passage mainly concerned about?

      A．Sweeps Festival history   B．Medway’s traditional holidays

      C．Climbing Boys’ Act 1868       D．a(chǎn) procession in Rochester

第二節(jié)： 完形填空（ 共20小題；每小題1．5分，滿分30分）

       閱讀下面短文，掌握其大意， 然后從各題所給的四個選項中，選出最佳選項。

       Here's a new warning from health experts: Sitting is deadly．Scientists are increasingly warning that sitting for prolonged periods — even if you also exercise regularly — could be   36  for your health．And it doesn't matter where the sitting takes place — at the office, at school, in the car or before a computer or TV — just the overall number of hours it   37   ．

       Research is preliminary, but several studies   38  people who spend most of their days sitting are more likely to be fat, have a heart attack or even die．

       In an editorial   39  this week in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, Elin Ekblom-Bak of the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences suggested that authorities rethink how they define   40  activity to highlight the dangers of sitting．

       While health officials have issued guidelines   41  minimum amounts of physical activity, they haven't suggested people try to limit how much time they spend in a seated   42  ．

       "After four hours of sitting, the body starts to send   43  signals," Ekblom-Bak said．She explained that genes regulating the amount of glucoseand fat in the   44  start to shut down．

       Even for people who   45   , spending long stretches of time sitting at a desk is still harmful．Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization, said people who exercise every day —   46  still spend a lot of time sitting — might get more benefit if that exercise were spread across the day,    47  in a single bout．

       That wasn't   48  news for Aytekin Can, 31, who works at a London financial company, and spends most of his days sitting    49   a computer．Several evenings a week, Can also teaches jiu jitsu, a Japanese martial art  50  wrestling, and also does Thai boxing．

       "I'm sure there are some detrimental   51  of staying still for too long, but I hope that being   52  when I can helps," he said．"I wouldn't want to think the sitting could be   53  dangerous．"

       Still, in a study published last year that tracked more than 17,000 Canadians for about a dozen years, researchers found people who sat   54  had a higher death risk, independently of whether or not they exercised．

       Figures from a US survey in 2003-2004 found Americans spend more than half their time sitting, from working at their desks to sitting in cars．

       Experts said more research is needed to    55  just how much sitting is dangerous, and what might be possible to offset those effects．

36．A．bad         B．good        C．mean               D．dead

37．A．does            B．occurs      C．matches            D．dies

38．A．a(chǎn)dvise          B．talk     C．suggest            D．say

39．A．thrown        B．caught     C．seen                D．published

40．A．biological       B．physical   C．psychological     D．logical

41．A．commending   B．mending C．recommending        D．communicating

45．A．sleep           B．rest       C．walk                D．exercise
